Lipsominal B12

Does anyone have experience of taking lipsominal methylcobalamin. According to the hype,it is more bio available to cells. I think it is in a spray. It is quite expensive. I wondered whether it has any merits versus the injections which I currently self administer .

Thanks

I think you are right to describe the comments as hype. They are almost certainly based on methyl being an analogue of one of the two forms of B12 used in cells without being aware that the methyl part is removed in order to get B12 into you cells ... so the cell can the recombine with either methyl or adenosyl depending on which process it needs to run.
